Buy tools. You can do more with the right tools than parts. Custom doesnt come in a box. It starts as something, becomes a bunch of pieces. And if you get lucky your vision shall arise from said pile of parts (or pieces).

Yes that is very true. Im waiting on seeing how hard my classes will be (im back to being a freshman) this spring. If there hard I will not work if there not then I'll get busy with a job. Was working for UPS since september but it was a temp job so I quit.

Every tool I own is at my house here in Iowa, i dont carry up tools to my apartment and the people there forbid you to work on your car in their areas (yes ive been told not 2). So I dont bring any tools up there only the basics.

You will go through a million and ten sanding drums. I did an aluminum intake for a SBC and an LT1 intake and it took about 20-per-intake.

Whatcha Got? I have the dremel, the case, and the accessory kit. I rarely ever use it. I enjoy using handtools and challenging myself.
